Influence of the Type of Fine Aggregate on Concrete Properties

잔골재 종류가 콘크리트 물성에 미치는 영향

This study examined the effects of comparatively widely used fine aggregates in the domestic construction fields on the quality of concrete through the analysis of the effects of such fine aggregates on the physical properties of fresh concrete and strength of hardened concrete. Results revealed that crushed sand degrades the fluidity and air entraining of concrete compared to natural aggregates like sea sand and river sand. Especially, the use of crushed sand exhibiting low grain shape and grade was seen to have larger adverse effect on the physical properties of concrete.
